  • Brewers Association 2020 Beer Style Guidelines February 21, 2020
    Brewers Association 2020 Beer Style Guidelines February 21, 2020 Compiled by the Brewers Association, copyright: 1993 through and including 2019. With Style Guideline Committee assistance and review by Chris Swersey, Paul Gatza, Chuck Skypeck, Andrew Sparhawk, Dan Rabin and suggestions from Great American Beer Festival® and World Beer CupSM judges, and brewers and beer lovers from around the world. Since 1979 the Brewers Association has provided beer style descriptions as a reference for brewers and beer competition organizers. Much of the early work was based on the assistance and contributions of beer journalist Michael Jackson; more recently these guidelines were greatly expanded, compiled and edited by Charlie Papazian. The task of creating a realistic set of guidelines is always complex. The beer style guidelines developed by the Brewers Association use sources from the commercial brewing industry, beer analyses, and consultations with beer industry experts and knowledgeable beer enthusiasts as resources for information. The Brewers Association's beer style guidelines reflect, as much as possible, historical significance, authenticity or a high profile in the current commercial beer market. Often, the historical significance is not clear, or a new beer type in a current market may represent only a passing fad and is quickly forgotten. For these reasons, the addition of a style or the modification of an existing one is not undertaken lightly and is the product of research, consultation and consideration of market actualities, and may take place over several years. Another factor considered is that current commercial examples do not always fit well into the historical record, and instead represent a modern version of the style.

  • Benchtop Micro-Mashing Method Can Be Used in Lieu of Standard Industrial-Scale Brewing Equipment to Investigate the Molecular Dynamics of the Brewing Process
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Benchtop micro‑mashing: high‑throughput, robust, experimental beer brewing Edward D. Kerr, Christopher H. Caboche, Peter Josh & Benjamin L. Schulz* Brewing science is undergoing a renaissance with the use of modern analytical chemistry and microbiology techniques. However, these modern analytical tools and techniques are not necessarily aligned with the scale and scope of brewing science. In particular, brewing processes can be time consuming, ingredient intensive, and require specialised technical equipment. These drawbacks compound with the need for appropriate numbers of replicates for adequately powered experimental design. Here, we describe a micro‑scale mash method that can be performed using a common laboratory benchtop shaker/incubator, allowing for high throughput mashing and easy sample replication for statistical analysis. Proteomic profles at both the protein and peptide levels were consistent between the 1 mL micro‑mash and a 23 L Braumeister mash, and both mash scales produced wort with equivalent fermentable sugar and free amino acid profles. The experimental fexibility ofered by our micro‑mash method allowed us to investigate the efects of altered mash parameters on the beer brewing proteome. Beer brewing is one of the oldest known biotechnologies and has heavily infuenced society and science. Te ancient science of beer brewing is rapidly developing, with modern analytical techniques allowing deeper under- standing of fundamental aspects of its integrated bioprocesses 1–10. Te brewing process begins with harvested bar- ley seeds being malted through a process which involves controlled, partial germination followed by kilning 11,12. Te malt is then milled to open the husks and combined with warm water in a process known as mashing.
